Are you sure you have to reboot? Try (as root) instead
root@box:~# ifdown eth0
root@box:~# ifup eth0

OK, let's trust him (for now ;) ).

Hä? Did you change anything in your installation, or did you only swich away
from KDE2, or did you upgrade your kernel. Tell us exactly what you did
before the problem started occuring.

Your friend in such cases is the system log (/var/log/syslog).
When you see this problem for the next time, do
root@box:~# tail -n 30 /var/log/syslog
immediately afterwards, and post the output here. This is where to start
looking.

windows-ish reboots...
